Contingent Staffing Solutions @work

Did you know that today, it is estimated that up to 20% of the global workforce is Contingent? And that by 2030, it is expected that 50% of workers will be contingent. Those are staggering numbers and we’re not talking about unskilled or lower level administrative labour or the more traditionally used IT contract personnel. Demand for Professionals, Managers, Technical Experts, Knowledge Workers and Executives are multiplying and they are now and will be swelling the ranks of the Contingent Staffing Solutions @work – NEW permanent workforce . It’s a NEW world at work. Contingent workers of today, and of the not too distant future have been rapidly expanding to address the need for a highly flexible extremely well skilled and nimble workforce. Today’s workplace is certainly changing.

Companies have had to find ways to stay sharp and competitive in the Global marketplace. Contingent workers have opened up a world of opportunity for on-demand access to expertise while keeping a watchful eye on the bottom line. In a very real way, it has been a panacea for helping to balance the bottom line in very tough times.

More and more executives are building their budgets these days similar to the way IT and Engineering executives have been doing for about 20+ years, with large expense components (contingent dollars) and less demand for increased headcount and salaries. That’s music to anyone doing budgets today or trying to get budgets approved.

The revelation of “why hire” and try to keep that labor busy in quiet times when one can “rent” for peak workloads is a very appealing business concept. The realization that it takes a different talent, and more of it, to build something, in any field, than it does to maintain it, is once again illuminating the landscape of businesses as executives see cost savings and quality opportunities in professional categories other that IT and Engineering. Executives realized years ago employers needed much more workforce flexibility to respond to a rapidly changing business environments.

More recently, other professional categories, such as Strategic Sourcing, Supply Chain, Procurement, Change Management & Logistics for example have too changed dramatically as the need for Contingent staff in these areas has boomed.
